Florida State RB James Wilder Jr. spoke about his father's influence on setting him in the right direction after three arrests in less than one year as a sophomore, including one for felony battery. James Wilder Sr. played running back in the NFL and told his son to move forward, because the younger Wilder cannot change the past. Wilder Jr. said every NFL team he has met with at the 2014 NFL Scouting Combine asked about the incidents. Wilder said he has learned from his mistakes and grown as a person.
